09/04/2026 • every time @softinvasions writes a villanelle about how sonnets suck i write another suckful sonnet*. metrical malpractice!

*sonnets do not even have to have 14 lines if you are pure of heart and sonnetpilled enough

i like to pretend i already died and asked god to send me back to earth so i can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. and that i promised i would never forget the miracle of being here

controversial stance but i do wish i could live forever. i certainly live like i'm going to live forever. i take my time. realistically however my lifespan is dreadfully limited and there are things i've "been meaning to do" that i will never get around to. the Emoji Movie came out almost 10 years ago. in all that time on any random day i could've decided to sit down and watch it, and i did not. how many more decades will slip by like this? conceivably, it could be all the decades i have left. watching the Emoji Movie would not be, after all, a crucial use of my time. much better things to do. i could easily postpone it over and over and over until my final breath where it may not even register to me that i never did watch the Emoji Movie. no great loss, certainly; and yet i find myself intrigued by Patrick Stewart's involvement

Hi, its me. The warmest creature in the world. I love you. Im the warmest creature in the world and I love you so much and I need to be in your lap right now. Yes, I know about the heat wave. That's okay though because I was already the warmest creature in the world so I don't mind. I love you and you need to let me sleep in your lap right now. I'm soooo warm and I love you sooo much. If you say no you'll be saying no to a thing that love you. Let me sleep in your lap. When I fall asleep I get warmer. I love you

Stanley Kubrick is well known for his innovative camera work and meticulous attention to detail. His 1975 film 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑳𝒚𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏 is no exception. Kubrick conducted extensive research into the eighteenth century, and every aspect of the production—from the costumes and props to the sets and lighting—was carefully designed to create a historically authentic look.   Milliner Francis Wilson is credited with creating many of the hats and bonnets seen throughout the film. This particularly lovely example, trimmed with lace, yellow ribbon, and an ostrich feather, was later reused in another production for which Milena Canonero served as costume designer. Given their shared involvement in both films, it is likely that Wilson and Canonero worked closely together to ensure each hat complemented its accompanying costume.   The hat first appeared in 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑳𝒚𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏, where it was worn by Marisa Berenson as Lady Honoria Lyndon.   More than three decades later, it was reused in 2006’s 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆, where Kirsten Dunst wore it as the French queen in Sofia Coppola’s film of the same name.   Interestingly, both 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑳𝒚𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏 and 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆 received the Academy Award for Best Costume Design.

I used to commute via this bus and it was actually usually MUCH better than this post implies; however, given the absolute state of our local Dems, TriMet in general is getting SO much worse due to their inability to maintain the smidgen of discipline necessary to pass a transit funding bill

A bit more about Archibald Knox. His great late work was an illuminated manuscript “The Deer’s Cry”. Each page is a complex interlaced illumination of a line of the prayer. 

Archibald Knox (1864- 1933) was a Manx designer of Scottish descent whose work bridged the Arts and Crafts Movement, Celtic Revival, Art Nouveau, and Modernism.
